How to Step a MiniCat 420/460 Mast

I am demonstrating two methods for stepping a MiniCat 420/460 mast.
Please note that tilting up the mast by pulling on the forestay is an untested method and will require testing to confirm safety and efficacy for non-carbon masts.

wow - we've been struggling with raising the mast and following this video made it go up in 20 seconds. Thank you!

Super cool idea, thanks for sharing ! At 1:30 it makes it so much easier with the heavy aluminium 6m mast with the 460 minicat! Never came to my mind how easy it could be...) thanx Alex

Hoppala! This leverage method looks like a good Idea. Thanks very much. Since two days I'm also an 460 owner and will try that out with my aluminum mast. Your Mast looks more like a Carbonian ;) Greatings from good old Germany.

I've been thinking about getting one, but how long does setup really take? From pulling it out of your car to hitting the water, then vice versa for pack up?
I haven't found a single uncut or real time video of either...

Single handed about 45 minutes, that is how I can do it (without a big effort and to be sure, I did it the proper way)

is that carbon fiber ?? I think that's why it seems so easy
